Piero Dorazio is one of the leading artists of the postwar Italian art scene. He was born in Rome in 1927 where he began his artistic career and was among the founders of the group Forma 1. In the late 1940s, he traveled across Europe where he came into contact with the international avant-garde movement. He taught at the University of Pennsylvania in the Fine Arts Department, which he helped to establish in the 1960s.

His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in major museums and private collections throughout the world, such as Tate, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Centre Pompidou, Paris; MUMOK - Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna; MoMA - The Museum of Modern Art, New York. He was awarded the Prix Kandinsky and appointed member of the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. He died in Perugia in 2005.

The Associazione Archivio Piero Dorazio was founded in 2014 at the express wish of Piero Dorazio’s heirs, with the purpose of studying, safeguarding, and promoting the artist’s oeuvre. It is committed to recording and cataloguing the artist’s entire artistic production.
